Lesson 1
Task 1: Check Your Understanding!
1. What happens during the shifting of roles of the sender and the receiver?
The shifting of roles of the sender and the receiver happens when the sender sends
or initiates a message to one person, or it is called the receiver. Once the receiver
responds to the sender, the shifting of roles occurs. At this point of time, the one called
the sender will become the receiver and vice versa. This means that the exchange of
communication will be a cycle in the conversation.
2. Explain how communication builds and ruins relationships. Give an example.
Communication is a very significant aspect in the relationship. It can connect two
people and share their feelings to one another. It is also a key to give a reassurance to
the significant other. good communication can make the life easy and lessen the
problem in every day life in the relationship.
An example of how communication builds and ruins relationships is as follows:
communication builds trust, reassurance, and love towards one another. For example,
my mother talked openly to my father in regards to what she was feeling the past few
days. In the event that she was annoyed, or something went wrong with my father’s
action, By means of that, my parents will actively listen to one another and avoid
defensive conversation.

Task 3: Expand your understanding!

a. As a student As a college student, it is important to
know how to communicate so that you
can make friends and share your ideas

b. As a boyfriend/girlfriend
c. As a son/daughter
Task 4: React and communicate!
a. Give your comment/ reaction to these sentences: “Once you have uttered
something, you can never take it back, and its effect remains. Anyone who says
that apologies can heal the hurt caused by offensive remarks is lying.”
with them, and vice versa. Also, it helps
us to widen our knowledge because of
the fact that you are openly
communicating with one another.
Communication empowers good
communication skills when you need help
from your professors, support system,
and other people who can assist you no
matter what.
Communication is important to avoid
conflict when it comes to trust issues in
relationships. Both parties need to openly
talk and listen to build trust, respect, and
avoid defensive conversation.
Furthermore, lack of communication can
no longer grow a healthy relationship and
let the red flags ruin the relationship.
Genuine connection and affection will
fade once both parties don’t support each
other to have good communication.
As my parents' second daughter, I am
responsible for the trust I place in them.
Because of the trauma given by my
sister, I need to assure them that I will
give them the details of where I will go
when my school is done so that I can’t
disappoint them and they won't compare
me to my sister’s past problems.
Being open to my parents is the best way
to genuinely trust me in all things. In spite
of the fact that they don’t allow me
sometimes, it is valid because they want
the best for me.
The most important things that will matter
are my honesty and respect for my
parents as a daughter.
 Inadequate intelligence can trigger people make believe to “Once you have uttered
something, you can never take it back, and its effect remains. Anyone who says that
apologies can heal the hurt caused by offensive remarks is lying”. Forming words in
your mouth without consulting yourself repeatedly has the potential to harm and
humiliate your feelings toward people.
At the moment, a large percentage of people are experiencing anxiety, mental
disorders, and, in the worst-case scenario, depression as a result of this situation. It is
possible to advocate for the 10 second rule, which means that if you say anything to
anyone who points out a flaw, remember the 10 second rule. If it falls under the 10
second guideline, say something to them tactfully. If it does not fit under the 10 second
rule, keep your thoughts to yourself and your mouth shut. It all comes down to kindness
in the end. Simply be nice to your fellow beings.
Words are magical, so learn how and when to use them properly. To avoid conflict in
your daily habit, think before saying something. Be kind and build a precise instinct
when talking around people.
b. Cite a situation that can justify or validate this sentence: “The same words
spoken to a stranger could injure a loved one.”

Carefully using words is an important aspect when it comes to talking to

people, specifically strangers. It is true that when you are close to someone and
you satirically tell them something, no hard feelings will build because they all
know you well for being goofy and bubbly.

For example, you have a group of friends and you have been with them
since high school. This actively demonstrates that you all are comfortable telling
each other something different than a normal group of friends chitchatting. I'm
thinking along the lines of telling them that they are ugly when they have
something on their face. Although this may be true, you can’t say it to a stranger
because it will definitely hurt their emotions. The logic is that the same words
have a different impact on a close friend and a stranger.

To sum up everything that has been stated so far, we really need to

carefully analyze what we are saying, even if it is your friends or strangers.
Always be kind no matter what happens.

Task 7: In-focus situation

A. Directions: Identify the forms of non-verbal communication in each of the
following phrases. Write your answer on the blank before each number.
Facial expression 1. winking at someone
Artifacts or Physical appearance 2. wearing her makeup on
Chronemics 3. arriving 20 minutes late

Haptics 7. patting someone’s shoulder
Olfatics 8. wearing perfumes after bath
Silence 9. showing silent treatment to someone
Interaction territory 10. walking back and forth

B. Your classmate in Purposive communication continually touches you in

passing – your hand, your arm, your shoulder, your waist. The touches are
becoming more frequent and, you sense, more intimate. You feel
uncomfortable and you want this to stop. What do you say? Do to him?

I will knock him off with my tumbler and immediately go to my professor and
tell her that my classmate is harassing me. We will immediately discuss it with a
guidance counselor and file a report that he is sexually harassing his classmate.

Women should not experience this kind of behavior. When something is

bothering you, don’t hesitate to call for help or grab something that could stop
him for his bad actions. Protect ourselves by eliminating boys from society.

3. Paris Agreement on Climate Change

- The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate
change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December
2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016. Its goal is to limit global
warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-
industrial levels. To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim
to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to
achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century. The Paris Agreement is a
landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first
time, a binding agreement brings all nations into a common cause to
undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects.

2. What does the experience of Starbucks tell the readers about globalization?
Starbucks is a famous coffee chain all over the world. Many countries have
franchised this coffee chain, which has led to its popularity. By growing into
dozens of countries, it expanded not only its goods but also its culture as an
American firm. That being said, Starbucks is truly experiencing globalization.

3. What are the driving forces behind globalization?

The rapidly growing of culture and product exchange and marketing of the said
product which is invest and take advantages of expertise. Companies can obtain
greater economies of scale by selling in larger numbers, as well as exploring the
advantage of low cost production through outsourcing and import, with access to
new markets and human capitals.
4. What are the benefits of globalization?
The benefits of globalization are as follows: Economic growth is the expansion of
an economy's production. increased in total amounts of goods, equipment, and
other tools to benefit the company. It is less hassle when there are a large
number of connections when importing. It will promote the company and also
increase the people’s income and prevent scarcity.
5. What are the negative effect of globalization?
Globalisation operates mostly in the interests of the richest countries, which
continue to dominate world trade at the expense of developing countries. The
role of LEDCs in the world market is mostly to provide the North and West with
cheap labour and raw materials. There are no guarantees that the wealth from
inward investment will benefit the local community. Often, profits are sent back to
the MEDC where the TNC is based. Transnational companies, with their massive
economies of scale, may drive local companies out of business. If it becomes
cheaper to operate in another country, the TNC might close down the factory and
make local people redundant. An absence of strictly enforced international laws
means that TNCs may operate in LEDCs in a way that would not be allowed in
an MEDC. They may pollute the environment, run risks with safety or impose
poor working conditions and low wages on local workers. Globalisation is viewed
by many as a threat to the world's cultural diversity. It is feared it might drown out
local economies, traditions and languages and simply re-cast the whole world in
the mould of the capitalist North and West. An example of this is that a
Hollywood film is far more likely to be successful worldwide than one made in
India or China, which also have thriving film industries. Industry may begin to
thrive in LEDCs at the expense of jobs in manufacturing in the UK and other
MEDCs, especially in textiles.

Task 2: Discovery Task

Check the things you find in your bag (paper, pen, cellphone, gadgets, make up
kit, etc). From what country do they come from? What does this suggest?

Almost everything I own is from a different country; my phone is from

China, my paper is from the Philippines, and almost everything in my make-up
bag is from Thailand and New York.
It is credible to contend that there are positive effects that we can
experience or use some products without going to another country. Plus, it is
more affordable than buying it internationally. We can benefit substantially from
the ongoing trade that the government is conducting.

Task 3: Application
A. Based on your observation, readings and experiences, cite some other
examples of globalization.
1. Parts of motorcycle that my father ordered on Shopee is from Japan. They
shipped it and here at Philippines.
2. Buying skincare products on Amazon.
3. Food we eat in different cultures.
4. Communicating to people in other countries.
 5. The ability to live, work, or go to school in a place other than a place
where you happened to be born.
B. What are the things that people do now which could not be done before
globalization?
There is a global trade network that allows you to access almost
everything manufactured in the planet. The internet is a worldwide information
network that allows you to access almost all of the world's information. There
is a global travel network that allows you to be almost any place on the planet
by tomorrow.
Because of globalization, we live in a world that is more peaceful than at
any other point in history. War was once seen to be a good method to get
prosperity for your country. No country now needs to go to war to obtain the
resources it need. Diplomacy and diplomacy have taken the place of battle for
those who prefer peace.

Task 4: Connect
a. Give insights with regard to how people have become “alone together” because of
technology.

Technology has become the architect of our intimate relationships. We succumb

to the idea of companionship online, amassing thousands of Twitter and Facebook
followers and equating tweets and wall postings with genuine connection. However, this
constant connectedness leads to a sense of isolation. Sherry Turkle, an MIT professor,
contends that as technology advances, so do our emotional lives. Alone Together,
based on hundreds of interviews and updated to the present day, reveals evolving,
uneasy interactions between friends, lovers, and families.

b. What is the meaning of/ or implication of this passage in Shirley’s video:

The speaker, Miss Shirley is essentially saying that in the twentieth century, the
media environment was more focused on one asymmetry than the other. The
medium that was successful at starting talks was bad in starting groups, and vice
versa. This, however, changed with the advent of the internet. Both of these
asymmetries exist on the internet at the same time. In contrast to phones, which
provide a one-to-one pattern, the internet provides a many-to-many pattern. In
contrast to phones, which provide a one-to-one pattern, the internet provides a
many-to-many pattern. The Internet has made it possible for groups of people who
are watching or listening to something to assemble and communicate to one
another. Skype is an example. You can use Skype to talk to family, friends, or
colleagues while also participating in an online teleconference with a group of
people.
